15 weeks 2 days ago Hardaway and LeVert

Watching Hardaway in that video reminds me a lot of LeVert this year: has a nice stroke when we gets going, has some quickness on the dribble, and skinny as a rail. I'm really hoping LeVert develops into a more consistent weapon. He made a great argument for himself last night picking up Stauskas' extra minutes.

15 weeks 2 days ago Hardaway's expression

What I wouldn't give to see Hardaway's face in the picture on the right at the top of the post. He's got to be going absolutely bonkers in his mind!

15 weeks 2 days ago Trey!!

Ahhhhh!

27 weeks 4 days ago Yeah!

Yeah! Where's your machine now?!?

32 weeks 3 days ago idiotic?

I'm not sure it was all of "idiotic." It was a calculated decision with known risks... that turned out to burn us last week. But who knows how some of the other games turn out if we don't have Gardner at WR. I'm not saying he was a world-beater, but he's contributed.

 

And you can't have your cake and eat it too. Gardner can either focus on being a good WR or a good QB, but I don't think he can do both. So I agreed with the call last week to put Bellomy in when Denard went out.

32 weeks 3 days ago Lewan!

How about Lewan on the yakety-sax-to-Dileo-TOUCHDOWN!! play? He stays home and then lays a nice block on someone while Gardner is coming around. 1) Good discipline staying home. 2) Staying alert to what's going on with his QB. 3) Nice hit. At 1:30 in the highlights.

32 weeks 3 days ago agree

Yeah, it seems like every other time we've seen him he's been serviceable but underwhelming (though athletic, sure). Today was a nice little change of pace.

32 weeks 4 days ago Agree

I agree, all blanket statments are silly.

 

No really though. I do agree with what you said.

But if the jokes are getting upvotes, doesn't that mean that people like them? If a joke is derailing a discussion and you don't like that, couldn't you just downvote to show your displeasure?

Yeah, wish we could have gotten a better look at our right adenosine in the video. Championships are won in the genetic trenches.

1 year 9 weeks ago modified hoke presser

“He was held back for three days because of a mild medication deal. Brian -- and he’ll tell you -- probably could have posted, but we’re trying to be, like we should, cautious with those kinds of things.”

1 year 10 weeks ago Just to clarify, Trey has not

Just to clarify, Trey has not entered the draft yet. He submitted a request to the NBA Advisory Committee to be evaluated (which isn't uncommon for quality players to do), but that does not enter him into the draft. Beilein confirms that in his quote when he said that the news of Trey entering the draft was premature. So as I understand it, there's nothing for Burke to do on Apr 10. He can't withdraw if his name is not on the list. His deadline is still Apr 29, his last opportunity to enter this year's draft if that's what he's going to do.

1 year 12 weeks ago ??

How would an agent benefit if Trey goes undrafted?

1 year 14 weeks ago This is a fantastic draw!

This is a fantastic draw! Right? Ohio and then Temple? I like it.

1 year 15 weeks ago You're making an incorrect

You're making an incorrect assumption: that there is a perfect correlation between being a good team and getting the win. The better team doesn't always win the game (usually, but not always). So we could have the same number of wins as another team and not be as good... or we could be better. The advanced metrics are trying to parse that out.

edit: This is directed at EQ RC Blue.

1 year 15 weeks ago I agree that if you're trying

I agree that if you're trying to rank teams based on how they performed, then all you need to look at is the scoreboard. A W is a W is a W. But that's only useful when you're looking back and reporting wins and losses.

If you want to try to PREDICT how a team WILL perform, then it certainly does matter what kind of a win it was. A close game won by a fluke shot (death to backboards!) means that if that situation happens again, the outcome may flip the other way.

That's kind of the point of a lot of advanced metrics. They're using margin of victory and other numbers (besides just the scoreboard) to PREDICT how a team WILL perform. And I think that was Brian's point as well. He's trying to answer the question of what we should expect looking towards the tournaments.

1 year 15 weeks ago Double post

Wow! I hate the internetz today.

1 year 15 weeks ago Agree

I definitely agree that Beilein has been laying the building blocks for a successful program before Hoke arrived. This basketball season may have turned out similar with or without Hoke around (when did Burke commit? Was it after the "This is Michigan, fergodsakes!" press conference or before?).

But I could definitely see Hoke and the football season having an effect on NEXT year's basketball team in the form of recruiting. I think that's the case anytime a team does well and gets some national/regional media love; all of the sports at that school benefit from the free advertising.
